Classical
A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.

Description
Introducing students to organic chemistry, this unique kit is comprised of eco-friendly, well-made components. The instruction guide provides background information, explanations, materials lists, step-by-step instructions and helpful illustrations to 30 organic chemistry activities. Activities vary and include plant transpiration, “seeing” photosynthesis, making organic slime, DNA extractions, demonstrating the power of organic solvents, papermaking, understanding acids and bases, making casein glue and different types of organic plastics, and much more. The kit contains a 120 ml beaker, graduated cylinder, Erlenmeyer flask, test tubes and stand, papermaking deckle and frame, bioplastic forming trays (2 sizes), spatula, shape molds, pipette, latex balloons, 100 ml glycerin, funnel, and paint brush. Most lab equipment is environmentally friendly while maintaining a quality lab design and sturdiness. Numerous household items are needed–for example active dry yeast, cornstarch, dish soap, sugar, turmeric powder, unflavored gelatin packets, etc. This is a great kit for the budding chemist in your family who wants to learn more about the future of organic chem and protect our environment at the same time! ~Deanne
Publisher's Description of Organic Science Lab Kit (SmartLab)
Saving the planet starts with you! This 21-piece science kit lets kids perform over 30 organic chemistry experiments using environmentally friendly science tools! The test tubes and beakers are made so that natural microorganisms can break them down more quickly than regular plastics. And when you're done experimenting, the kit packaging is compostable! The illustrated 40-page book lets young eco-heroes perform experiments that demonstrate organic processes at work. Activities include making paper, cooking up four types of bioplastics, extracting DNA from plants, brewing natural watercolor paints, and even popping a balloon using an orange peel!
Includes a graduated cylinder, 120 mL beaker, Erlenmeyer flask, test tubes and test tube stand, papermaking deckle and frame, large and small bioplastic-forming trays, spatula, shape molds, pipette, 4 Latex Balloons, 100 mL of glycerin for making bioplastics, funnel, and paintbrush.Adult supervision is required for several of the activities.
